Bird Breakdance Animation
One HTML page: a bird breakdancing. The brief is deliberately open — the move set, the art direction and the controls are all the model's to choose — so what it measures is taste and animation craft rather than compliance with a spec.

The prompt every model got
You make short animated pieces for the web.
Build me a single HTML page: a bird, breakdancing.
The build
- It animates on load and keeps going.
- The dancing should read as breaking — weight, timing, recovery between moves. Not a looping wiggle.
- The art is yours. Canvas, SVG, CSS, WebGL, pixels, line art, whatever suits the bird you have in mind. A page that looks like nobody else's counts for more here than a clean version of the obvious one.
- Give me something to do. Controls of your choosing; what they change is part of what is being judged.
House rules
- One file. Everything inline — no CDN, no external stylesheet, font, script or image.
data:URIs are fine. - No libraries.
- No network at runtime.
- No
localStorage,sessionStorage, cookies orindexedDB— sandboxed frame, they throw. - Return the file as exactly one fenced
htmlblock.
Answer in exactly these sections
The bird
Two sentences: what the bird is, and the look you went for.
The page
The single fenced html block.
The notes
Three bullets.
- The move set, and how you got the timing to feel like weight rather than interpolation.
- What your controls change.
- The part you would fix with more time.
